I'm a writer and game designer who lives in Boulder, Colorado. Over the last fifteen years I've worked on computer games, card games, pen-and-paper roleplaying games, live roleplaying games, fantasy novels, and a comic book. I'm best know for creating the Eberron Campaign Setting for Dungeons & Dragons, but I'm very proud of my transparent card game Gloom, which made the Games 100 and won an Origins Award in 2006. Currently I'm continuing to work on Eberron novels and RPG material in a freelance capacity.

I'm married to Ellen Baker, a brilliant and beautiful hosptial administrator, jambalaya chef, webmistress, and Scrabble champion. Together we tend to the needs of Bossy the Cow and our cats Max and Tina.
